Abstract

Provided are an inner part and a resin molded article according to which it is possible to mitigate the concentration of stress at a distal end of a melt rib. An inner part, around which an outer portion is to be arranged through integral molding, includes a main body portion made of resin, and a melt rib provided protruding outward from the main body portion. The melt rib is formed such that a height of the melt rib is greater than a thickness of the melt rib, the thickness decreases from the main body portion to a distal end of the melt rib, and the melt rib includes a melting portion configured to partially melt during molding of the outer portion.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An inner part, around which an outer portion is to be arranged through integral molding, the inner part comprising:
a main body portion made of resin, the main body having a fixing portion, the fixing portion defined by a recess formed on an outer surface of the main body portion; and
a melt rib provided protruding outward from the main body portion, the melt rib concentric to the fixing portion;
wherein the melt rib has a height that is greater than a thickness of the melt rib, and the melt rib includes a rising portion that has a constant thickness, and a melting portion with a thickness that gradually decreases from a distal end of the rising portion to a distal end of the melt rib, and
the melting portion has a vertical surface and an inclined surface that is inclined with respect to the vertical surface so as to taper in a direction from the distal end of the rising portion to the distal end of the melt rib and tapers from an outer surface of the melt rib towards an inner surface of the melt rib, a thickness on the rising portion side of a melting portion is equal to the thickness direction of the rising portion, and a portion of the melting portion melts during molding of the outer portion.

2. A resin molded article comprising:
the inner part according to claim 1 ; and
an outer portion that is molded around the inner part,
wherein the melting portion is closely adhered to the resin body of the outer portion, and the distal end of the melt rib is melted.

3. The resin molded article according to claim 2 , wherein the main body portion is formed using a resin material that does not include reinforcing fibers, whereas
the outer portion is formed using a resin material that includes reinforcing fibers.

4. The inner part according to claim 1 , wherein the melt rib includes a first melt rib spaced apart from a second melt rib.

5. The inner part according to claim 4 , wherein the first melt rib has a thickness greater than a thickness of the second melt rib.

6. The inner part according to claim 4 , wherein a height of the melting portion of the first melt rib is greater than a height of the rising portion of the first melt rib.

7. The inner part according to claim 4 , wherein a height of the melting portion of the second melt rib is smaller than a height of the rising portion of the second melt rib.
